Are you ready to invest?

While some investors scramble to liquidate stocks and pocket cash others are on the hunt for the next 10 bagger. Did today's millionaires get where they are by running and hiding? The truth about today's markets may be different in each investors mind but the reality is some stocks have been over sold. It has been said that to run with the bulls you need to do the opposite of what the herd is doing. If the majority of investors want to pocket cash to live to fight another day then what ever they are selling off might be your chance to shine for the year.

The past two years I have made a lot of investments in the summer and some have put me where I am today. Some sectors may be better than others but if you take the time I think you will find a bargain in every sector. Gold is pulling back according to some analysts but lets face it these guys are making money. Not to mention there are not too many large gold finds in play right now so some junior exploration companies may be an easy ticket to fortune. I am a bit more diversified this year for several reasons. For one thing I have broadened my search and turned over a few rocks in unlikely places to find some investments I never would have thought of in previous years. Some companies are turning profits on little or no debt, however, they are trading at one times earnings. I have another resource company that I know of that is trading for slightly under its cash position.

It's not an easy task to find a bargain but when you spot some sell-off dig a bit deeper and find out why this is happening. I watched two investors get margin calls recently and had to dump a thinly traded gold stock. I feel sorry for the traders but I never buy on margin or short stocks. The rewards are there and this may be the best time of year to get in on some ground floor prices. There are so many stocks that come to mind I wouldn't know where to start. Some I have written about in the past and some I have yet to cover on my site.

I would rather inspire you to search on your own than give you a lead that may not be right for you. Its your money, make it count. Put it to work in an effective way right now. I have a few new featured companies coming up as well as a new section where I will put the spotlight on other investors picks. If you have a pitch on a great company please feel free to submit it for a feature here on The Traders Digest. You will get full credit and you may help to shed some light on your favorite story in the markets.
